[Sunhelp] Resolution to stop-a for non-Sun keyboard

[Ayson, Alison {Info~Palo Alto}]

I posted a question a few days re: problems in getting a non-Sun keyboard to
recognize a Stop-A (break).  It turns out that the problem was with my
terminal server setup.  I'm using a Lantronix LRS16.  The Sun server was
connected to port 14.  According to the LRS16 manual you can telnet directly
to any port by using "30xx".  So I was telnet'ing to 3014.  I would connect
to the Sun just fine but I could not get the Sun to recognize a break key no
matter what I tried.  Finally I was able to contact someone in Tech Support
at Lantronix.  They told me that there was another way to telnet to a
terminal server port, specifically using "20xx".  Apparently the "2000"
extension was a "non-clean" telnet, the "3000" extension is a "clean" telnet
that does not interpret any data.  I'm still not sure I understand what the
heck they were talking about, but using "2014" worked whereas "3014" did
not.

Thanks to everyone who wrote and told me that "break" should work for
"stop-A".  You all were right, I just wasn't getting the break recognized.
